For Sale: 2006 Chevrolet Corvette in Mesa, Arizona

This 2006 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible is a well-preserved modern classic. That means a low-mileage car with a clean and sleek style. And because this is a V8-powered drop-top with the desirable Z51 sports suspension, there are few added touches of speedy style to make it an individual kind of classic.


Monterey Red looks great when showing off the sleek style of the C6. In fact, since this has only averaged about 3k miles annually, the factory finish has a deep gloss that does a great job showing off the tight body lines. The air-channeling side louvers, headlight covers, and 18/19-inch wheels for a sporty stance are all part of a streamlined style. And the Z51 package includes the full rear spoiler. So it makes for the right car to get some added individual style with the upgraded front air dam and side skirts.


The black convertible top looks great against the deep red exterior, and the color theme continues inside. In fact, we bet you'll immediately spot the touch of added custom style with the red carbon fiber trim added to the center console. A good Corvette is a great driver's machine with a sports steering wheel, crisp gauges, and this even has a head-up display. But this was built for comfortable grand touring, too. After all, a 3LT means an upper-level Corvette loaded with the best features. This includes power adjusting leather seats, power locks, keyless entry/alarm, keyless ignition, dual front airbags, side airbags, and anti-lock brakes. The stereo is the premium AM/FM/CD/XM touchscreen unit with Bose speakers. Power windows and a power convertible top mean you never have to leave the driver's seat to open this one up to the world. And you have heated seats and dual-zone A/C automatic climate control so that you and your passenger can always dial in an individual level of comfort.


We like the LS2 motor under the hood. The Corvette had been utilizing 350ci/5.7-liters for nearly 30 years when the C6 came along. So this 6.0-liter was a reminder that Corvette motors could be larger, like they were in the big block era. And the modern LS-series makes for an impressive powerhouse that's versatile. It provides serious V8 muscle when you dig into the throttle no matter if it's at a green light or out on the highway. And the Z51 sports suspension is a desirable option that makes it an even sharper handling convertible on the back roads. But this also settles into an easy cruiser at any given moment. A big key to the adaptability is the six-speed automatic transmission. It gave you 50 percent more gears than the previous year for better ratios. And the paddle shifters mean you are in control to turn this in the blink of an eye from an easy overdrive cruiser into America's true sports car. The power steering, four-wheel power disc brakes, drilled rotors, and ABS are all part of this all-around appealing driver's package.


Complete with owner's manual, this is an ideal mix of preservation and individuality that makes for a terrific Corvette drop-top. So if you're looking for power and style, call today!
